By Jack Ridd.Il MPP Last week 1 was invited to attend the Zone 7 dinner meeting of the Ontario Municipal Electrical Associa- tion. I was called upon to bring greetings to the meeting. I made some com- ments which predictably sparked retaliatory responses from some guests who were called upon to address the meeting. I suppose when elected members are invited to at- tend vaious functions, they are expecte& to bring greetings from the Legislative Assembly of On- tario and only speak of the 118121IIIHIHI III IHIIHIHII I III II II IIiII IHII I I III IIHII III 11111 11I I I I11111111II I II1111111111111II H I II I II I II1 1 1 1 1 1lIII II ) I I I II )III I I II I III I II I I II II II I I II I I I1111 1 1 I III II111 Hensall Civic Corner Adult Co-ed Slow Pitch Anyone interested in recreational adult co-ed slow pitch baseball every Wed. night at the Hensall.

However, I do believe in speaking out on matters of concern even though it is not always appreciated by everyone. I am sure that the Ontario Municipal Electrical Associa- tion strives to provide. its customers with power at the cheapest rates possible and I indicated in my comments that the present increase in hydro rates was being con- sidered by the Ontario Energy Board. I disclosed some well documented facts. I pointed out some of the reasons for the dramatic increase in Hydro rates, amounting to about 250 per cent, over the last decade. I submitted that one of the reasons for the in, creasing Hydro rates was the uranium contract which On- tario Hydro signed, with Denison Mines in 1978. Ontario Hydro is tied into a 40 -year contract for uranium oxide which is presently costing Ontario Hydro $60 a pound. The world price is $23 a pound and has never ex- ceeded the price Ontario Hydro is paying Denison as set out in the contract. I suggested that Ontario Hydro should renegotiate the uranium contract, for accor- ding to Mr. Holt, Director of Fuels for Ontario, the dif- ference between the contract price and the world price for uranium oxide is costing On- tario Hydro ;50 million per year. The St. Catharines Hydro Electrical Commission and the Windsor Utilities Commission have also called for a renegotiation of these contracts. Such costs must be recovered by Ontario Hydro and needless to say, Ontario Hydro's source of revenue is its customers, including the Municipal Electric Utilities, the major industrial customers and direct customers. if it is legally im- p )ssible for Ontario Hydro to renegotiate the uranium con- tract, then the government could introduce legislation giving them the authority to charge an excess profit tax on Denison Mines. It was obvious that other speakers who have very close allegiance with Ontario Hydro, took offence to the ;omments which I made. it is unfortunate that one does not lave a chance for rebuttal for is i was listening to some of he comments, i recalled a iews release that was put out by the Ontario Municipal Electric Association, after it made a submission to the On- tario Energy Board, sug- gesting that Ontario Hydro's proposed rate increase for 1983, should be cut in half to 7 percent from Hvdro's de- mand of 14 percent. . The ' OMEA believes that the time has come for Ontario Hydro to "tighten its belt" and assume its reponsibility to take any and every reasonable step to limit rate increases. I would have been very in- terested to hear comments had I expounded on other On- tario Hydro management practices which have led to increased Hydro rates. I could have mentioned that Ontario Hydro lost *460 million by the cancellation of Wessleyville generating sta- tion because they did not realize that the price of oil was going up; ;485 million was lost through cancellation and mothballing of the Bruce Heavy Water Plants because Hydro did not' realize demand • was going down; the loss so far of $45 million not to take deliveries of oil from Petrosar under a 15 year contract. I could have mentioned the proposed plant at'Darlington which at the time of its incep- tion was going to cost 14.2 billion and now it is estimated to cost double that amount. I could have talked about the over -expansion of Hydro and the fact that there is a 45 per- cent capacity of power in On- tario even at peak demand. I could have mentioned that Ontario Hydro manpower has grown by. some 28 percent in the last five years and its head office bueaucracy by 39 percent while electrical de- mand has increased by less than 1 per cent per year. One has to question the need of further development and in order to sell its excess power, Ontario llydro wants to run a line under lake Erie in order HENSALL GRADUATES - Graduates of the Hensall Nursery school are: (back, from left) Sarah Voir, Lisa McKay, Michelle O'Connor, Kris Schenk, Janine Hayter, Justin Regier, Amy Zwart, Raymond Beierling, Corey Rowe; (front, from left) Jason Campbell, Lance Weiss, Dwight Gingerich, Richelle Elder, Sherry Towton, Tina Dayman, Kaissy Plumb and Ryan !manse. Married 50 years Zurich Charlie and Madeline Rau (the former Madeline Bedard) will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on June 5 .with a mass of thanksgiving at St. Peter's Church, followed by a recep- tion at the South Huron Rec Centre in Exeter. They were married June 6, 1932 at St. Peter's Church, RR 2 Zurich by Rev. Leo Mar - chard. The wedding recep- tion, unlike today was held in the home of the bride with about 75 people. Wedding par- ties were muchsmaller in number 50 years ago. The Rau wedding party consisted of Madeline, Charlie, the best man Nelson Ducharme and the bridesmaid Irene Flannagan, who is Charlie's sister. Madeline and Charlie mov- ed in with Charlie's parents the morning after their wed- ding and they have lived on the home farm since. In 1975 Charlie retired as a farmer, sold his farm to Dennis, his youngest son and built a home on the property where they are presently living. The Raus were blessed with nine children, six boys and three girls, John Paul, the oldest is married to Barbara Robson, and they have one son and four daughters. They reside on a farm on Highway 21. Gerard lives in Stratford. He is married to - Delores Knapp, and they have two daughters and two sons. Louis is married to Doris Drouillard and they have two daughters and live in Windsor. Next in line is Sister Rose Marie. She is a member of the Ursuline Sisters of Chatham. She is presently living at the Pines Motherhouse .in Chatham. Annette who is married to Bernie Denomme has three sons. They live on a farm on the Bluewater Highway. Clarence and his wife Sharon Regier, also live on a farm on the Bluewater Highway. They have four sons and one daughter.. The fifth son Maurice makes his home in London. His wife is Ellen Hartman and they have two daughters and two sons. Dennis the youngest son, lives on the home farm with his wife Susan Tilley and their two daughters. and one son. Last but not least is Joanne to provide power to the United States. The result of this will be more power corridors, traversing good agricultural land and marring the land- scape and in conjunction with the production of power there is the emission of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide which return to the surface of the earth as acid rain. Acid rain as most people know af- fects the lakes in Northern Ontario and there Is evidence that it is now effecting crops and crop yields in 'Southern Ontario. I talked about Ontario Hydro in my reply to the Throne Speech and I put into the record facts which were well documented. I was most interested in the comments which were made in response to my remarks but more interesting still will be the comments if the day ever comes when the govern- ment decides to further broaden its sales tax base to include Hydro on the list of items which are no longer exempt. It could happen. 1 TRUST COMPANY GUARANTEED CERTIFICATES AVAILABLE Representing many trust com- panies, highest rates usually available. For more information contact John R.
